Mockumentary Mania!

Sorry, didn't realize there was an issue here, Nerdie.

I'm never sure whether or not I should include "Spinal Tap" with the other three. I mean, it had lots of the same people in it, but not nearly as many of the same as the others to each other.

Don't apologize to her. It's her problem that she needs to grow out of. Maybe if she watched it again, she'd "get it" this time.

[Afgncaap5]

Maybe. I know that it took me twice before I totally understood Buckaroo Banzai.

[Bix Dugan]

they're all great, but Tap is special.

"Not to worry, Boston isn't really much of a college town."

But the best musical is South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut.

[Afgncaap5]

Meh. South Park's music's never really been too memorable for me.

This news is many months old, so forgive me is this board alreday knew. Guest & Co. may have already filmed their next movie.

In October, (Levy will) reunite with his pal to begin filming "For Your Consideration," in which he out-kooks his previous roles by going Hollywood.
"It's about people working on a small, independent movie when the magical word 'Oscar' gets tossed into a conversation in regards to one of the actor's performances in the movie," Levy says. "Once the word gets dropped, you can't shake it. You can't get it out of your head, and it kind of permeates the production that they're working on."
Guest will helm "Consideration" in addition to playing Jay Berman, the indie film director with a sitcom background. Levy will play agent Morley Orfkin who runs talent agency DOA, the Dorkman Orfkin Agency, representing one of the actors in the independent movie

Sounds awesome. I hope this one is a little more biting than A Mighty Wind. I got the feeling that A Mighty Wind portrayed people with whom Guest and co. might be a little more familar (than say, heavy metal artists or dog show affcianados), thus the characters were treated a little more sympathetically. I'm worried that if this movie is about actors there will be a similar tendency.

[Mr. Atari]

Another note on For Your Consideration is that it will also star Ricky Gervais of The Office fame.

The commentary track for This is Spinal Tap DVD is as funny as the movie because they do the whole thing in character.

Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't that almost exactly what he did in Waiting For Guffman? Except there the word was "Broadway" instead of "Oscar."

Thanks.
